The best bug shot of the challenge, IMHO. Nice profile, great color contrast with the blue flowers, and nicely managed background.

Beautiful subject, lovely colours and excellent focus.

Nice capture, well-shot.. I find the orange on the butterfly and purple flowers rather jarring, however.

Great shot. So much detail. I love how you can see the ribs on the wings

We had a population explosion of Painted Ladies where I live this past spring. Millions of them migrated through our area for several days. At times it felt like I was standing under a tree with shedding leaves.

Anyway you capture the Lady beautifully with a nice creamy background and beautiful flowers. I love it's eye.

Beautifully shot. Love that the butterfly has it's head pointed toward the viewer. I always seem to shot them pointing away.

Please take a look at the three opinion polls in the Forums under 'Site Talk'. They are only open for another three days. Even a vote for 'No Opinion' or 'None of the above' would be helpful. Thanks.

My apologies if you already received this invitation in the Main challenge. I'm simply trying to get everyone's opinion registered before the polls close in three days.

very difficult to comment on a challenge where there is no defined subject just people's personal choice.......well done and thank you for the entry

Beautiful capture. Very crisp and good detail in both the flower and the butterfly.
